Ketchup

I love stats. I love the excel spreadsheets. OK that isn't really true. I like them when I'm looking at my running stats. However I especially DON'T like them when I'm looking at my running stats and it shows the stats going down the toilet. /insertflushingtoiletsound.

I've been taking it easy to try and let the knee heal. Mostly one milers, really for the last two months. The knee does not hurt when I run one milers, and do most everything else. This is good for the knee. This is bad for the stats. One of my goals was to hit 1000 miles for the year, and the projections had me at the high point, reaching 1050. Unfortunately the recovery months have reduced that to 878 miles currently. Bleh. Hopefully the rest helps. I've started gradually increasing the mileage, I'm trying some exercises and stretches and yes I will probably give the PT scam artists a call. The five miler over the weekend in the down pour of rain felt pretty good. Time, and a few sixty mile weeks will tell, woo hoo!!! Ok that was the stats talking again. Shh stats keep it down, the knee might hear you...

that is some fantastic ketchup. This better be the first of many more posts to come throughout July and the rest of the summer.

I am trying to slow down, but since (through you, or, on the rare occasion checking the blog herself, who knows?) your wife is sort of watching, I can't slack. The distance coach in her could not stand seeing a former pupil cutting corners. Seriously, I use any and all motivation that I can find, even this.

Oh, and what about the video posts? You need some. Some experimental, new age fuzzy images of you running juxtaposed to sharp focus close ups of the little dudes in extreme slow motion chanting "It takes corn to make moonshine!"
